Chapter 537: The Prospect of the Bicycle

"Ahh Somewhere in the unknown, a messy cat man suddenly sneezes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Strange...... Which one is missing McQuay again? The cat man held the metal handlebar in front of him with one hand and rubbed his nose hard with the other.

Handlebar? That's right, he's riding a bike that wasn't originally a product of Skyrim. The middle seat, in front of which is a small wheel fixed to the handlebar to control the direction, and behind is a large wheel, which is connected to the pedal under the foot by a set of gear linkages to generate power.

The road is very flat, and even if there are not as many high-end tires as on the planet, pedaling this bike is still much less laborious than walking.

"Alduin's wings, they make the sky dark. Its roar was full of rage, its scales were razor.

People fled and retreated, they went to war, and all they met with was death. They kept crying and screaming when they were burned or bleeding.

We need a savior to save us from Alduin's wrath. Heroes of the battlefield, come and start this new war......"

While the cat man was relaxing and enjoying the breeze blowing in the sky, a familiar sound came to his ears along with the beating of the strings of Lute.

On the side of the road, a bard was singing a beautiful song, and several travelers with wine bottles in their hands were loudly catering to him, beating the beat.

"Oh...... Watfak ...... "The catman who heard this sound turned black into the bottom of the pot, and his face was extremely reluctant, but his body got off the bicycle very honestly, walked to the side of the circle, clapped his hands and drank with Ying.

“…… So Tumu saved us from Alduin's wrath. As a gift of spit eyes, a new era was ushered in.

If Alduin is eternal, then eternity has lost its meaning. Because his story is over, and the dragons have left us. ”

……

Half-moon collar, the entrance of the dwarven workshop.

"Ready? Hammel? It's said you're the fastest runner in our realm right now. Wei Xu looked at the young blacksmith in front of him with a smile, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Hmm......" Hamel nodded in response as he looked at the strange two-wheeled toy that the lord was holding. This thing was completely made under the guidance of Wei Xu, and the blacksmiths were just doing it, although they had some conjectures about its specific function, they were not sure.

"Good...... Then get ready to go! Let's see how useful this new gadget is. Wei Xu said, gesturing to Robben, who was also curious on the side.

Robben softened his voice after receiving Wei Xu's signal: "Ready...... Let's go! ”

With a command, Wei Xu had just pedaled into battle, and Hamel had already rushed out, quickly leading Wei Xu by a large margin.

Wei Xu in the back was not in the slightest hurry, he stood up directly on the car and pedaled hard one by one. There is no chain drive, no rubber tire suspension, and the feeling of this car pedaling is almost crazy for Wei Xu, who is pedaling a bicycle in the sky for the first time!

However, as the speed of the car accelerated, Wei Xu gradually relaxed, although he still had to spend some strength to control the speed, although it was inferior to Hamel, who ran with the right of two feet, but it was better in stability and effortlessness. Five minutes later, Hamel's speed gradually slowed down, and Wei Xu followed up on his bicycle and overtook him. Naturally, Hammer was unwilling, so he tried his best to follow up. Ten minutes later, Hamel's physical strength gradually ran out, but Wei Xu, who was riding these two rounds of "toys", was still relaxed. Fifteen minutes later, Hamel had stopped, his hands on his knees, and he was gasping for air. And Wei Xu once again circled past him. At this time, Wei Xu could see a slight bead of sweat on his forehead, but his breathing was still steady, and it was estimated that he would not have a problem riding at this speed for another hour.

"This ......" The old blacksmith Ihad couldn't sit still, he had thought that the thing that the lord wanted to make was a bit "interesting", but he had never thought it would be so interesting!

Finally, Wei Xu stopped the bicycle after two more laps of riding without the novelty at the beginning.

"Your Excellency......" Ihad on the side immediately greeted him. It's ......"

"Bikes." Wei Xu said, handing the car in his hand to Ihad and asked him and a group of blacksmiths gathered around to observe and try. When it was made before, everyone vaguely guessed the point, but in the end they were still confused. Now that I understand how to use this thing, I look at it again and feel that this thing has completely changed in my eyes.

"The research on the use of dragon bones and dragon scales can be put on hold for a moment, and then your task is to improve this bicycle in addition to renovating and building a pedal crossbow. Make it lighter, faster, and with less jitter when riding. Seeing a few old blacksmiths chattering around the bicycle, Wei Xu gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Yes, my lord!" For Wei Xu's request, Ihad wrote it down word for word.

Bicycle? Wei Xu looked at the original product in front of him with a little pity, and sure enough, as a by-product of the foot crossbow, it still has shortcomings to a large extent.

At this point, it is quite self-aware, and this thing can travel faster than on foot, but much slower than on horseback. With no rubber tires, no chains, and no high-tech bonuses on Earth, if he rode this thing from the Mystery Pine Forest along the Half-Moon Collar Road to Half-Moon City, he would probably be shaken apart before he even reached his ass.

However, despite all the shortcomings, if Ihad could make simple improvements in these areas, it would definitely be the best choice for short trips. Cheaper than horses, it has a certain speed comparable to that of a horse-drawn cart, and is not as expensive as horses, so it does not need to be fed. It is still very promising for the transmission of short-distance ordinary messages, as well as for travel.

Of course, the development direction of this bicycle is also limited to the civilian aspect, military words is to pull some of the most high-end bicycles on the earth, the sky is estimated to be chicken ribs, short-distance is not as powerful as horses, long-distance we have a powerful teleportation channel to arrive in minutes, combat reconnaissance or something, in the mountains, sand, swamps and other sections of the road with this thing is cumbersome.

But speaking of which, the future ...... Who knows what the future holds? In case his mage group cracks the technology of combining dwarven steam power and magic power, not to mention bicycles, tanks can be built for him at that time!

"Gone Robben ......" Wei Xu, who had cleared his mind, came back to his senses and found that Robben was not following him, and subconsciously looked back. Just happened to see the bald Nord man who was helped into the car and fell off the bicycle in embarrassment without taking two steps.

All right...... It's that these difficulties have been overcome, and if you want to popularize this thing, you probably have to go through a lot of hard work...... In other words, is it so difficult to balance two wheels?

"Bang!" The heavy object fell to the ground, Robben helplessly touched his bald head and stood up again, looking at the novel thing in front of him and gritting his teeth with hatred.
